[20:05:05] <uns0undl0gic> Windows 7 [20:05:19] <SP1> uniextract and winrar latest free version [20:06:02] <uns0undl0gic> I have tried some crazy methods of trying to initiate it without being able to boot in but none have worked [20:06:11] <uns0undl0gic> Windows can tell im trying to initiate it outside [20:06:25] <Stryyker> uns0undl0gic: What happened? I don’t know how to do what you want. [20:06:53] <SP1> stryyker what ever effected me this way didnt kill mse from working [20:07:19] <SP1> then today i installed superantispyware [20:07:35] <SP1> and it seems all it found was tracking cookiues [20:07:39] <Stryyker> SP1: Have you tried a restore point? [20:07:57] <SP1> no not yet i havent [20:08:05] <Stryyker> SP1: Do you have any other firewalls installed? [20:08:17] <SP1> noit at the moment i do not [20:09:20] <SP1> but it seems everything else is qworking ok on my pc [20:10:15] <DanaG> hmm, any of you familiar with Smart Card login? I have some computers that immediately open the PIN prompt when you insert the card… and others that make you click “smart card login” manually. Is<kalelovil> how would I iterate and run a command for every *.txt file in a directory? [20:13:32] <SP1> stryyker are you still there? [20:13:37] <Stryyker> Yes. [20:13:49] <SP1> i just got5 this in mse [20:13:51] <SP1> file:C:WindowsassemblytmpU800000cb.@ [20:14:03] <DanaG> I see… it goes immediately to the pin prompt only if nobody is yet logged in. [20:14:15] <SP1> any ideas of what i can do [20:14:35] <Stryyker> SP1: Where did you get your recent additions from? [20:14:48] <SP1> the internet [20:15:05] <Stryyker> SP1: Which websites? [20:15:08] <SP1> i got the superantispywarte from the superantispyware website [20:15:24] <SP1> i got winrar from rarlabs homepage [20:15:33] <SP1> i got uniextract from cnety [20:15:34] <Cpudan80> hello [20:15:39] <SP1> hi Cpudan80 [20:15:57] <Stryyker> Try to use a restore point and see if it fixes anything. [20:16:10] <SP1> i dont know if i have a recent one [20:16:14] <SP1> let me check [20:16:43] <Stryyker> What else have you installed? [20:17:00] <SP1> thats it [20:17:41] <SP1> yes i have good restore point [20:17:45] <Stryyker> Try that [20:18:17] <SP1> ok then let me rboot onto win 7 instal dvd and restore the best point and see iof that fixes anything then ill brb to let you know what happened ok? [20:19:42] <Stryyker> ok [20:19:52] <SP1> BBIAF thanks for the advice and help stryyker [20:21:01] <themadcanudist> hey guys… i’m goign through the technet stuff on unattended installs on windows 2008 server r2. I need a bit of help here. I want to add the AutoUnattend.xml file to the base install D<PZt> kalelovil command line or batch file? [20:22:13] <kalelovil> batch [20:22:18] <themadcanudist> how can I rebuild the iso file (and make sure it’s properly bootable) [20:22:37] <PZt> for %%a in (*.txt) do echo %%a [20:23:32] <dios_mio> SP1, I installed xp just today… and when i boot it right after logging in, it will wait till it will open the desktop after i type in my password to log in, and then i check the RAM usage in tas<kalelovil> PZt: where does my command go in that? [20:26:01] <PZt> between do and %%a [20:26:02] <kalelovil> the command being gawk -f new.awk [20:26:23] <kalelovil> in place of the echo? [20:26:30] <PZt> yes [20:26:36] <kalelovil> thank you [20:26:51] <PZt> you’re welcome [20:28:34] <DanaG> so, anyone know how to get the “switch users” screen to automatically open the PIN prompt? [20:28:48] <PZt> Emiru you should never disable it [20:29:20] <PZt> uns0undl0gic wht version of windows? [20:29:31] <Emiru> PZt: I asked on a forum a while ago, they told me the same unless you have 8gn of ram, which I dont, Im probably not going to do it [20:30:37] <DanaG> Also, every so often, I get my screen flickering to black for like one or two frames. [20:30:49] <PZt> Emiru actually it never is no matter how much ram you have [20:31:35] <User> Does anyone know how to make a vbscript use more of the CPU [20:31:58] <User> wscript.exe runs the vbscript but its only using 13% of i7 [20:32:13] <PZt> User what exactly are you trying to achieve? [20:32:21] <User> If it could just use all available CPU power it would finish a lot faster [20:32:33] <User> script finish funning faster basically [20:32:39] <SP1> stryykerr r u there [20:32:53] <SP1> sorry bout the extra r in your handle [20:33:07] <SP1> green light with the firewall now [20:33:19] <User> I have set prority of wscript.exe to high but its stil only 13% of cpu [20:33:22] <PZt> User most vbs stuff is not cpu bottlenecked…. [20:33:32] <SP1> hi pzt [20:33:40] <PZt> what is the script supposed to do ? [20:33:46] <PZt> hello SP1 [20:34:01] <SP1> 
[20:34:02] <User> its writing out a csv file and constantly checking it for duplicates [20:34:27] <PZt> yeah it does not sounds like a cpu issue [20:34:38] <User> right ok [20:34:42] <User> thanks [20:35:04] <User> i guess i should attempt to use ram more [20:35:34] <kalelovil> PZt: doesn’t seem to work, the contents of the .txt files is just streaming to standard output [20:35:50] <kalelovil> when the batch file gets to the line for %%a in (*.txt) do gawk -f new.awk %%a *.txt [20:36:12] <PZt> %%a=the text file [20:36:24] <SP1> well ill bbl [20:37:05] <DanaG> User: is powershell an option? PowerShell treats CSV as a first-class citizen, so to speak. [20:37:50] <User> thanks im not sure can you convert a vbscript to run on powershell? [20:37:51] <kalelovil> PZt: so it should be for *.txt in (*.txt) do gawk -f new.awk *.txt [20:37:56] <kalelovil> ? [20:39:12] <DanaG> User: you’d have to rewrite it, rather. [20:39:24] <DanaG> But chances are, the powershell would take less code. [20:39:56] <PZt> no [20:40:10] <User> thanks danag [20:40:17] <User> will consider it [20:40:32] <User> i did just rewrite it in vbscript from php ;p; [20:40:37] <User> *lol :S [20:40:56] <PZt> you want do to a task to all text file that is the way to do it [20:41:14] <User> php had the same issue but vbscript does seem faster [20:41:41] <PZt> %%a is the var for all text files [20:42:13] <kalelovil> the why doesn’t for %%a in (*.txt) do gawk -f new.awk %%a *.txt work? [20:42:36] <kalelovil> to do that command to all .txt files in the directory [20:43:08] <kalelovil> nvm [20:43:12] <PZt> so if you were to do gawk -f new.awk file.txt then use do gawk -f new.awk %%a [20:43:24] <kalelovil> yes [20:43:31] <kalelovil> i realised that now [20:43:40] <kalelovil> that the *.txt at the end is redundant [20:44:28] <kalelovil> still not working [20:46:00] <themadcanudist> nobody is really familiar with recreating the windows installation media from the original disk with an AutoUnattend.xml file? [20:46:18] <PZt> kalelovil does it work on a single file? [20:47:03] <kalelovil> the original list of commands does [20:47:15] <PZt> themadcanudist for 2k8 likely ##windows-server but in general there are oddball settings that have to be specified as well [20:47:25] <themadcanudist> cool, thanks PZt [20:47:41] <kalelovil> when it was just gawk -f new.awk %%a thailand8.txt > thailand9.txt [20:48:00] <kalelovil> *gawk -f new.awk thailand8.txt > thailand9.txt [20:48:08] <borkd> o/ [20:49:05] <PZt> how are you specifying +1 on the stdout file? [20:49:22] <kalelovil> sorry, I do not know what that means [20:49:55] <PZt> so the batch file looks like what [20:50:06] <kalelovil> sed -i -f new1.sed *.txt [20:50:07] <kalelovil> sed -i -e “/^$/d” -e “/^}$/d” *.txt [20:50:07] <kalelovil> sed -i -f new2.sed *.txt [20:50:07] <kalelovil> sed -i -f new3.sed *.txt [20:50:07] <kalelovil> sed -i -e “s/ }$/ } }/g” *.txt [20:50:07] <kalelovil> for %%a in (*.txt) do gawk -f new.awk %%a [20:50:09] <kalelovil> sed -i -e “s/ soldiers = / } zzzz = { soldiers = /” *.txt [20:50:13] <kalelovil> sed -i -e “s/([0-9]* = {)(.*)(zzzz = {)(.*$)/1214/” *.txt [20:50:15] <kalelovil> sed -i -f new4.sed *.txt [20:50:17] <kalelovil> sed -i -e /#/”s/{ }$//g” *.txt [20:50:19] <kalelovil> sed -i -f new5.sed *.txt [20:50:21] <kalelovil> pause [20:51:18] <PZt> over a few lines it is kind of better to pastebin.. [20:52:33] <PZt> in the command line you do gawk -f new.awk thailand8.txt > thailand9.txt …in the bat you do not redirect [20:53:48] <kalelovil> it needs to work on all .txt files in the directory [20:54:10] <kalelovil> so I can’t specify the an input and output file [20:54:18] <kalelovil> and it needs to happen in place [20:54:34] <kalelovil> or, rather, needs to appear to happen in place [20:54:50] <kalelovil> so all the files the commands are being used on retain their file names [20:56:14] <kalelovil> the POSIX way of doing this is, according to another channel, for f in ./*.txt; do gawk -f new.awk “$f” > temp && mv temp “$f”; done [20:56:25] <kalelovil> I need a way to emulate this in a windows .bat file [21:03:33] <Nautilus> anyone know how to find a MS Office activation phone #? [21:04:14] <S_SubZero> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950929 [21:05:25] <Nautilus> yea i found that. no phone numbers. It just says “Access product activation wizard” but not -how- [21:05:59] <Nautilus> oh wait… [21:06:10] <Nautilus> expanded some info, let me look [21:06:44] <borkd> yep [21:06:47] <Nautilus> S_SubZero: oh, I have to be -in- the app to get to that. The app closes because of an activation problem 
[21:07:17] <borkd> Nautilus: uk by chance? [21:07:24] <Nautilus> us [21:07:54] <borkd> doh (i have the uk number burnt into my memory) [21:08:01] <Nautilus> is it toll free?
